Death by Song (2003)

This is, to date, the most complete CD I’ve ever made. It was all recorded on my digital 8-track recorder, so the quality is decent. I have notable guests artists on this album, including guitarists Mike Lucibello, Brian Brockett, and Aaron Bell, and numerous special guest vocalist appearances. The songs range in severity of seriousness as well as in style. It was also on this album where I began concentrating very heavily on orchestration and harmonies more than actual composition, which results in simpler songs sounding infinitely more complex.

This CD also features my first two cover songs, where were both minimalist songs for which I arranged way too many parts.
